    If I see clearly, those look like webs and those white dot are the mites. They will spread rapidly if not eliminated. You can buy a mix of predatorial mites that are beneficial insects, and they will eat all those bad mites. That takes a few days to order. You should check out nature’s good guys store. I personally don’t like using any type of chemical on any of my plants. I like to go organic. I’ve also found that neem oil works great at controlling an outbreak and is available at Home Depot or Lowe’s. Don’t saturate your plants in neem oil and always test a small area of your plant first to see how it’s gonna react to your diluted Neem oil. Hope that helps.

    Amazon also has beneficial insects and the shipping is way cheaper and they carry most of what natures good guys product.
